ON-LINE Movie Distribution. First Look.

Movie distribution is your vein, without which your blood will spill out on a floor. Creepy? Made especially for horror movie fans. Okay, let’s get down to the business. What do you possibly have as a first time movie maker in a way of self-distribution? Not too much, but still competitive – the Internet! That golden word which changed the market.

If I say to you that many people (and they are real Hollywood producers not van drivers) in now days are making leaving by making ultra-low budget movies for on-line self-distribution, would you believe me? Would you possibly process and assume that this is how it has changed in 21st century. It took only a couple decades to crash Hollywood’s monopoly on distribution.

Remember what people were saying twenty years ago? That Tarantino and his friends have broadened an independent movie movement? If you a man with a decent logic could you agree with that now? No! Why? Tarantino made his first feature movie (Reservoir Dogs) for a million dollars – 1 000 000 $ – can you name that an independent source? Can you approach at your mama and ask for a million bucks? Could it be admissible for investors? You should to tear your ass apart to receive that sum of money from investors even in now days! The Internet, that what has changed and broadened the independent movie-making completely and irrevocable!

Of course nobody has canceled movie theaters and we hope they will not vanish a couple decades later. But if we are talking about movie distribution for a local US market just think about channels like Amazon, YouTube, Your Movie Trailer and other giants which are growing up, substituting the physicals shelves on your local DVD rental. Now this is might be sad news, somebody losses his business while we are reading this topic, but this is that changes in now days and it is inevitable. Like you it or not, but you need to be adapted to a new tool like cyber-trading in other words on-line self-distribution!
